Personal Brand Photos
Sharon Haver
Entrepreneur, Positioning Expert & Online Business
Consultant
FocusOnStyle.com
"Did you know that it only takes 1/10th of a second to judge a
person's character, even from a photo? In today's fast-paced,
tech-oriented world, your photo is now part of your personal brand,
business strategy, and career trajectory. The good news is that by
using the right techniques, you can manage people's sense of you
through your photos."
At FocusOnStyle.com since 1999, Sharon
Haver helps savvy experts and entrepreneurs build thriving
online businesses with personality that boost visibility through
authentic brand positioning. Prior to her entrepreneurial
endeavors, Sharon perfected the art of positioning as a 15-year
veteran fashion photography stylist in New York City and a Scripps Howard News Wire
advice columnist. For anyone looking to land their next dream
client or job, and for those who are constantly on Zoom calls these
days, Sharon offers these on-camera tips to make sure your photo or
screen time says all the right things. - Be sure to make "eye
contact" with the camera lens. People who make eye contact have a
greater chance of being viewed as more intelligent. (Putting on
your eyeglasses can have the same effect.) - Dress the part, but
keep things simple so the focal point of the photo or video is you
and not your outfit. - Good lighting is crucial to taking
professional looking photos, even if you're shooting from your
iPhone. Use natural lighting when possible or a three-point
lighting set-up. - Ensure you have amazing surroundings. A clean,
organized background goes a long way. For more insights on how to
make your photos work for you or to schedule an interview, don't
hesitate to reach out.
4 Steps to Master Fear in Pandemic
Joey Klein
International Corporate Transformation Expert
Conscious Transformation
"1) Feel Triggered? Stop. Wherever you are, just take two to three
minutes and stop whatever you're doing. Don't send an email, don't
pick up the phone, don't watch TV or look at your Facebook. Just
stop. Sometimes it's helpful to close your eyes because you
eliminate distractions from the outside. It's a little easier to
sense what's occurring inside.
2) Name What You're Feeling. Ask 'How do I feel? Do I feel agitated
or overwhelmed? Do I feel anxious or sad?' If you are not able to
name the emotion you feel, ask 'Do I feel expanded? Do I feel
contracted?'
3) Breathe Deeply. Breathe three deep, relaxed breaths, in through
the nose, out through the mouth, 5 – 10 seconds in, 5 – 10 seconds
out, relaxing your body.
4) Name the Result You Want to Achieve. When you feel yourself a
bit more relaxed, acknowledge the outcome you want to create and
then name what you can do to move toward that
outcome."

5 Mindset-Shifting Tips for Challenging Times
Ken Honda
Author
Ken Honda
"1. Practice gratitude: When you don't have gratitude for what you
have, there is no foundation to build on. You will continuously be
filling a hole that can never be filled. But when you are thankful
for what you have, as you accomplish and gain, it will overwhelm
you with happiness.
2. Be happy NOW: Dreaming of a beautiful future has its place, but
it will forever be a dream unless we learn how to be happy in our
present.
3. Be rich in self-worth: We are all worthy of a good sense of
self-esteem. Learn to know that you are more than a moment in your
life. Learn that you have skills that others do not. Learn that you
hold power in your life. Learn that others depend on you. Learn
that you are loved. Learn that you deserve to love yourself, and
then love yourself. Then you will be well on your way to true
wealth.
4. Build your awareness of wants vs. needs: We've all done it —
bought something expensive, and then ended up with buyer's regret.
Understanding what actually fits into your life and knowing that
purchase is going to return its value to you is an important skill
to develop.
5. Don't cling to money worries: Worrying about money is an
addiction that keeps you from focusing on what else is going on in
your life. When you are truly struggling with money, it is
understandable that it would cause worry. But what so many of us do
is we go through a period in our life where money is scarce, then
we hold onto the fear of that moment long after it has passed. Even
those who accumulate financial wealth often continue to worry about
making sure their money is enough — and they end up missing out on
the joy in their life! Learn to allow fear into your life when it
is helpful, then recognize when it is no longer serving you and let
it go."

3 Ways to Spend Less on Your Home Office
Darla DeMorrow
Founder, certified professional organizer (CPO®)
HeartWork Organizing, LLC
"1) When buying online, always check the SALE tab first, and check
it often. You might find your favorite item in discontinued colors
for a steal.
2) Shop online marketplaces by item name, not just by category. If
you know you need a bookcase for your office, and you know the IKEA
Billy bookcase would work for your space, search for the brand and
model names. This way, you can often snag a deal AND get free
assembly!
3) Always open delivered boxes and packages immediately. If you
wait to open and later find out items are damaged, wrong, or
unsuitable for your office space, you might miss the window for
returns. That's money down the drain and more clutter in your
home."
Darla DeMorrow is a certified
professional organizer (CPO®), decorator, speaker, and founder of
HeartWork Organizing, LLC, based in Wayne, PA. Her mission is to help people
achieve a sense of peace and purpose. She is the author of several
inspiring books on getting organized, including "Organizing Your
Home With SORT and Succeed." Her newest book is "The Upbeat,
Organized Home Office" (January
2020).
Darla holds a master's degree in business administration from
Temple University. She is an active
member of NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing
Professionals).
Darla is a certified photo organizer with The Photo Managers, and a
certified Evernote consultant. She is constantly honing her skills
to provide her clients the best in organizing and design.
Darla is the host of Organizing Elephants, a local access
television show. She is a former member of the volunteer fire
department ambulance crew, an avid reader and podcast listener, and
the rescuer of a homeless Siamese cat. Darla speaks French and
enjoys traveling to France
whenever she can.
When not redesigning client lives, you will often find Darla
working on her own home — which she shares with her husband and two
young daughters. To learn more, visit www.HeartWorkOrg.com.

Social Distance & Relationships: Unblock Your Heart
First
Dr. Bradley Nelson
Holistic physician and author
"If you have a persistent fear of being left or dumped, this may
undermine the foundations of any type of relationship. If you feel
a lack of relationship trust is a big problem for you that requires
counseling, please seek it out. But if you're simply looking to
strengthen a relationship and increase your ability to love and
trust, here are some things you can try:
• Determine if Your Heart is Open to Love: Many people unwittingly
suffer from a Heart-Wall™. Heart-Walls are like emotional
scar tissue from past heartbreak. As a result, you can go through
your life somewhat insulated from others because of the emotional
traumas you've been through and the wall around your heart.
• Examine Your Feelings: Be mindful of when you become stuck in
negative or anxious thought patterns about your relationship, and
recognize when those thoughts aren't rational. Simple mindfulness
is a great tool for many types of anxiousness. If you realize your
fears aren't based in reality, sometimes that can help you turn
them around.
• Communicate: Don't be afraid to loop your partner in on what
you're going through. Explain that you know your anxious feelings
or lack of trust in a relationship is coming from you, not things
they are doing. Their reassurances of their love for you may not
take away your anxious feelings, but it can't hurt! Plus, your
vulnerability may even strengthen your bond.
• Release Trapped Emotions: If you have trapped emotional energies
of betrayal, abandonment, heartache, insecurity, unreceived love,
worry, or bitterness, you could be locked in a pattern because some
part of you is feeling those feelings 24/7. Releasing these
energies using The Emotion Code® could make an immediate and
significant difference in your ability to trust in a relationship.

Veteran holistic physician Dr. Bradley
Nelson (D.C., ret.) is one of the world's foremost experts
on natural methods of achieving wellness. He has trained thousands
of certified practitioners worldwide to help people overcome
physical and emotional discomfort by releasing their emotional
baggage. His best-selling book "The Emotion Code" provides
step-by-step instructions for working with the body's energy
healing power. A newly revised and expanded edition of "The Emotion
Code" is now available (May 2019,

Magnets: Tapping Into Health With a New Spin on Ancient
Knowledge
Susan Shane, L.Ac.
Licensed acupuncturist, author
Hand Energetics
"Having access to the ancient knowledge from this acupuncture
system remapped onto the hand is incredibly beneficial. Learning
how to use that knowledge with the modern magnet technology really
allows people to feel better, to tune in to what's there and what's
going on for them, and to make adjustments when there's something
that is out of balance. Once you start experiencing that, it's
really wonderful."
Susan Shane graduated magna cum
laude from Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in
Los Angeles, CA and has been a
California and nationally licensed
acupuncturist since 1994. She is the designer and primary mover of
a series of powerful, accessible wellness tools: the Hand
Energetics™ program and "Vitality Fusion: a Comparative,
Interactive Survey of Western, Chinese, and Ayurvedic Medicine,"
which includes the ExAIRcise™ approach to physical movement.
Besides her master's in acupuncture and Chinese herbology, she
holds a B.A. in theater arts and dance. Susan has participated as a
longstanding member of the Community Advisory Board at the Scripps
Center for Integrative Medicine in La
Jolla, CA and has completed postgraduate studies in
gynecology with Dr. Yitian Ni. She has been a wellness lecturer at
college campuses and corporations, such as University of California San Diego, Chuao
Chocolatier, and Qualcomm. The Financial News Network featured
Susan on their "American Entrepreneur" segment and she has been
interviewed by or written articles for New Body, Men's Guide to
Fashion, Mature Health, and Mantra magazines. Her professional
affiliations are with the American Association of Acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine and California State Oriental Medical
Association. She has also belonged to the National Sports
Acupuncture Association, Aerobics and Fitness Association of
America and the International Association of Yoga Therapists. Susan
is passionate about teaching others how to be vital and healthy.

Understanding Informed Consent
Dr. Alan Lindemann
Obstetric physician and maternal mortality expert
Dr. Alan Lindemann
"The first informed consent a pregnant woman will make is choosing
what doctor to see during her pregnancy. Insurance companies should
not have the ability to narrow the list of physicians one may see.
It's quite possible you prefer going to a doctor outside your
insurance company's chosen group. It seems to me that the ethics of
autonomy and free choice should not be ignored or eroded for the
purpose of large corporations making a profit. It's a big job, but
consumers need to begin taking back their ethical rights. Contact
your legislators. If only 3 or 30 patients do, nothing will
improve. If 3 million or 30 million patients do, change will
occur."
Obstetric physician and maternal mortality expert Dr. Alan Lindemann has made it his mission in life
to see healthy babies delivered from healthy mothers. He teaches
women and their families how to create the outcomes they want for
personal health and pregnancy.
Dr. Alan is the co-author of "Modern Medicine: What You're Dying to
Know," a consumer action guide about how to navigate the United States healthcare system. In his
nearly 40 years of practice, he has delivered around 6,000 babies
and achieved a maternal mortality rate of zero!
He earned his medical degree from the University of North Dakota in 1977 and is boarded
by the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons, as well as a
member of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
and the American Medical Association.
Fondly known as the "Rural Doc," his favorite hobbies are washing
his vintage Cadillacs and tending to his pet chickens. He practices
medicine and lives with his wife and co-author Diane Haugen in Elgin,
North Dakota. Learn more at LindemannMD.com.

It's a question many bloggers struggle with: is quantity or quality
more important when it comes to the content you're publishing?
Maybe it's not about making a choice between quantity and quality
and sacrificing one for the other. Rather, it's about finding the
right balance so they can both work to benefit your blog. Let's
